Remembering the tragic loss of Samoan Clipper, 85 years ago today, while reaffirming our commitment to find the final resting place of seven pioneering aviators (Musick, Sellers, Brunk, MacLean, Stickrod, Brooks, and Findley).
Ad Astra, Col. Joe Kittinger.
I'm heartsick to learn that a few hours ago our friend and colleague Joe #Kittinger went on to higher #exploration. In 1959, Joe made a jump from #space and into the imaginations of budding engineers throughout the world.
Through his bravery, Joe opened a new plane of possibilities. Joe was widely accomplished, receiving many accolades including a Purple Heart, The Distinguished Flying Cross, and Prisoner of War Medal.๐บ๐ธ

Dear @amazon - whoever thought restricting your #Prime customers to playing their own music only on #shuffle mode in the @amazonmusic app should be fired. It's rotten that you continue to strip away Prime benefits. Signing up for @Spotify along with most other @Twitter users. ๐ก

If it's Italy's Argentario peninsula, the seafood started its day in the sea. Tendrils of white encrustations thread along a black mussel shell situated on a dinner plate, its steaming companions are a perfect accompaniment to my chilled glass of vermentino. ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐น #italy#foodie
Am I #shark bait here?? Coolness settles into my wetsuit as I snap photos of our #survey team's boat activities. I can't help taking a moment to appreciate that my office today is the crisp clear and ultra-salty water of Italy's Tyrrhenian Sea.

Good news -- we'll soon be back for more ROV dives! After a brief port stop in Puerto Rico, we'll refocus our remaining time on U.S. waters in the vicinity of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with livestreamed ROV dives taking place 8/25-9/1. Join us then!
